For His Warped Dreams Of Fame Poem by Francis Duggan

Someone should have told him he should not murder others and then kill himself for fameSince all he left of himself is his legacy of shameA gun in the wrong hands can cause sorrow and tearsAnd the kin of his victims left to grieve for years.

For decades of years they will grieve for their lossThe burden of sorrow is a heavy crossThat the families of his victims are obliged to bearOf the consequences of his actions he was not aware.

The kin of the dead gunman deserve sympathy'Twas hardly their fault he lacked in empathyHe was old enough for to know right from wrongHe will not be remembered in story and song.

Mass murder by gun is no longer rareMany unstable people with firearms in the big World out thereFor his warped dreams of fame the innocents had to payThey were in the wrong place at the wrong time that does seem sad to say.
